| description |
In 1988, Chile put in place a new
regulatory regime for water and sanitation, allowing rates
to reflect the actual cost of providing services. The
government then reorganized the sector under 13 state-owned
regional water companies and, in 1998, started to partially
privatize some of them. Four years after the first sale, it
is now possible to assess the early results of
privatization. This Note examines the outcomes for
investors, and consumers, and compares the performance of
the privatized companies with that of companies remaining
under state ownership. |
